Michiel II Coignet (1618〔SAA (City Archives Antwerp) PR43/1 C36, PR48, f175r, St-Jacobskerk 27-7-1618.〕–c.1663〔SAA WK983, f165 ff, in which the children of the late Michiel Coignet are mentioned.〕) was a Flemish painter specialized in small paintings for cabinets. Michiel II was born and died in Antwerp. He was the son of Michiel Coignet (1549–1623), the court mathematician of the Archdukes, and his second wife Magdalena Marinus (? - 1663). Michiel II became a successful painter and earned a comfortable living. In 1641 he was admitted, as a master's son, to the Guild of St Luke.〔P. Rombouts & T. van Lerius (1874) II, p.117.〕 He married Maria Salet,〔SAA N2429,f315, dd.13-11-1640〕 with whom he had at least six children: Michiel III,〔SAA PR43/1 36; PR50, f65, St-Jacobskerk: 2-9-1641.〕 Maria,〔SAA N3403, dd. 8 februari 1657; SAA WK1754〕 Cornelis and three children whose names are not known.〔SAA WK1754.〕 A number of signed and ascribed paintings of Michiel Coignet have been sold〔R. Fabri(1993), p.108. Also Rubenianum fototheek V17 Cognget.〕 and a series of four is part of the collection of Lamport Hall. He seems to have had a workshop in which rather small and stereotype paintings could be ordered. He was also very active making paintings for cabinets and received many orders from the cabinet maker Forchondt.〔R. Fabri(1993), p.87-88.〕 Subjects of these plates usually were the lives of saints. He also restored damaged paintings and despite the fact that we know that he had many of these commissions few of these small paintings have been signed and only a few paintings in cabinets are ascribed to him. ==Works by or ascribed to Michiel II Coignet== *Cabinet with love scenes, Forchondt workshop and Michiel Coignet, after 1642, J.
